It is up to us to strengthen good road habits in the young. We all know growing up we had a dificiency called LTD "Like To Drive". We need to speak out and create a greater sense of awareness of the effects of dangerous driving in our communities. Our police officers and we as citizens of Tobago have to be more vigilant to curb the road accidents. Lets not wait for our govenment, but we can do things NOW before another father or mother go through these terrible and senseless pain. Gone much too soon. And will forever be remembered

Another senseless accident and the loss of a mother's only child. When will the people of Trinidad and Tobago learn that not every day is a race. Their driving habits are horrible and will never change. RIP Jabari...
